Sylvia, a musical celebrating the life of activist Sylvia Rivera, plays at Festival Theatre Edinburgh on 12 October 2026. The production blends hip hop, funk and soul in an Olivier Award-winning show.
Activist. Rebel. Icon. The Olivier Award-winning electrifying musical is fuelled by an irresistible soundtrack that joyously unites hip hop, funk, and soul, and is brought to life by world-renowned choreographer and storyteller Kate Prince (ZooNation). Powerhouse talent Beverley Knight (Sister Act, The Drifters Girl, Memphis The Musical) will reprise her Olivier award winning role as Emmeline Pankhurst, alongside Sharon Rose (Hamilton, Motown, Beautiful: The Carol King Musical) as Sylvia. Book now for this revolutionary, uplifting musical direct from London’s Old Vic theatre.
